Just returned from our second trip to grand palladium riviera maya, and first time in the royal suites. Definitely worth the upgrade! Great rooms and service from private carts around the sprawling resort to room service to priority in dinner reservations to, our favorite, the private royal beach with beach beds and service, the royal suites allows you to relax like royalty on an amazingly beautiful beach.

The staff was excellent! We had a great time hanging around the pool and taking time at the beach. We were able to do some snorkeling and paddle boarding, which was also included. The buffet's were good with a wide variety of choices. We were able to take advantage of the al-a-carte restaurants, and the food was exceptional at those as well. The rooms and resort in general were beautifully maintained. We had no issues. Lots of wild animals to see roaming around the resort. We even had a monkey come within 5 feet of our 3rd floor balcony as we sat out watching the scenery. We were able to watch the hatching of 3 sea turtle nests (about 300 total) and see them released to the sea. We had a great time, and we think you would too!

If you are the traveler that love nature, appreciate simple, friendly and comfort this is a great place to stay in Boca Paila, Tulum. Beach front hotel, very roomy and clean bedroom/bathroom, nice terrace all with ocean view even the partial ones. Nice quiet place, romantic and other hotels on walking or scooter distance offer daily shows at night. The staff are super friendly, humble and very customer service oriented.
As room for improvement: I am hoping this hotel have sewer system because I learned all the hotels in Boca Paila are dumping their dirty/sewer water straight to the beach!!!! The pool area need some TLC, umbrellas and pool it self need some maintenance or upgrades. As for the guesses they leave their garbage (plastic/glass bottles) behind even in the beach, the hotel stuff does clean daily and keep the hotel tidy, but the visitors don't have any conscience how fragile is the eco system in that area. The hotel it self needs some minor upgrade and the buffet needs more variety and better preparation. Lastly, soft drinks and fruit waters should be included in the package. This last one is information not provided by expedia.
